CAPTAIN s. GREENWOOD,
Master of the Steamship Kanawha.
About a year ago he observed strange change In
his feelings. He felt tired instead OF vigorous
vous instead of strong. His appetite became poor
and his sleep broken. He tried to overcome these
feelings, but they would not go. He then noticed
pains and irritation in the water channels and that
the fluids passed were often thick and with scum
on top or brick dust sediment nj the bottom. All
these were the symptoms of that fearful disease,
Catarrh of the Bladder. which has always been
sdered incurable and they continued until the Cap
tain was in terrible condition. But he is the pic
turc of health and vigor to-day, and he owes 1t
tirely to that wonderful medicine, units Remedy.

Butter or Beef.

The editor of the agricultural depart
ment of the Philadelphia Press, in his
comments on the late dairy exhibition in
New York, says:
The generalization presented most OBJ
viously to the visitor was that the dairy
COW has distinct type of her own. A
comparison of all the herds collected here
with representatives of the Short-horns,
Herefords, polled Angus and other beef
breeds. such as are seen at fat stock
show. would convince anyone that the
difference in form between the two classes
is much greater than the difference be-
tween individuals of the different breeds
in either class. No one can mistake a
Jersey or Guernsey for an Ayrshire, or
either one of these for Holstein, and yet
il we leave out of consideration size and
color. the description of good COW of
either breed might answer for that of a
good cow of either of the Others. All
have the same deep TANKS and greater
size of the hind quarters compared with
tore auarters-the true wedge-shape-the
same broad loin, hips comparatively high,
fiat thighs. expansive udders, and strong,
tortuous milk veins. All of them are
strongly distinguished from the level,
low-set, square built animals that have a
tendency to lay on flesh rather than to
give milk. 1t is plain that the general
purpose cow is about as impossible of
realization as horse that would make a
good draft animal and fleet runner. A
good dairy cow can not, in the nature OF
things, be good beef animal, nor can a
good meat producer of first quality be a
milk producer of great excellence. The
physical and mental qualities demanded
for either purpose are not those that can
be turned to advantage to the other.

ty of comb honey while others raise ex-
tracted. But believe they all agree that
much more honey can be obtained by ex-
tracing. For our part we think we can
get three pounds to one. 1t certainly
takes the most experienced beekeeper to
make success OF raising comb honey so
as to pay him equally as well as the ex-
tractor. This is why we think that begin
ners make mistake at first on trying
their hand on comb honey. If they would
commence with the extractor they would
find more pleasant sailing, as many meet
this stumbling block right at first. and
the business is given up in disgust. where
the way would be more clear to them
if they had used the extractor.

The Length of Roots.

Almot fabulous stories have often been
reported regarding the length of roots of
certain plants-how the clover plant will
need its roots eight feet down into hard
clay sub-soil, etc. Generally the state
ment has been made that roots extended
outward from the tree, as far as the
branches extend; but upon this subject,
Prof. +. j. Burrll of Illinois gives
some curious facts in the transaction OF
the Horticultural Society of that State.
For instance, Prof. Burrill traced the
roots of a two-year-old grape vine. to a
distance of thirteen feet. Apple trees
that were set twenty feet apart were found
other eight years after planting. The
roots of peach tree twelve years old,
growing in rich soil, were found to extend
distance of fifty feet from the trunk of
the tree; and Prof. Beal of Michigan
found the roots of an apple tree set four
teen years. at distance of twenty eight
feet.
MI Now it is by means of the minute, fine
rootlets, at the extremities of the root,
that the trees obtain their supply of food
and the above facts show how important
it is that mulch or fertilizer applied to
trees be extended widely from the tree,
and not put on in little bunch up about
the trunk. Broadcast manuring or mulch
ing is the true manner of applying fertil-
izers to an orchard-the feeders of the trees
are at the extremities of the roots.

The Best Strawberries

Wishing to renew strawberry bed this
spring we wrote to Mr.. A. j. Tolman of
Rockland to send us plants of such varie-
ties as he esteemed best for an amateur
bed of moderate dimensions. Mr.. Tol.
man is successful strawberry grower of
many years practice, and has tried all the
newer varieties. He is the present mem
Der of our State Board of Agriculture for
Knox county, and is gentlemen of edu-
cation and observation. His selection for
a family strawberry patch consisted OF
Miners Great Prolific. Crescent Seeding,
and Wilson's Albany. The list may safely
be taken as good guide for all amateur
straw berry growers.

The Grange in Maine.

A circular issued from the Office of Hon.
Frederick Robbie. Master of the State
Grange of Maine, gives some interesting
facts concerning the history OF this
farmers organization, and its growth in
our State 1t dates back thirteen years,
to 1874, in which year there were seventy
local oranges with total membership Of
two thousand members, and to the close
OF the year 1886, there were one hundred
and ninety nine oranges having MEM
bership of fourteen thousand fue hundred
and Mirty-one. During the present year
thus far. several new oranges have been
organized, and the membership is now
more than fifteen thousand. AS purely
farmers organization nothing in the way
of associated effort has ever attained the
success that has been reached by the
grange. 1t has been great business,
social and intellectual educator of the
masses, and in communities where a
united, prosperous grange is established.
there one is sure to find good neighbors
and an improved system of farm economy
To the young people of the farm it has
been of untold value. Upon this point
the testimony of Prof. w. J. Beal of Ian
sing, Michigan. is most convincing. In a
letter to the Lecturer of the National
Grange, Prof. Beal, in speaking OF the
success OF his grange and the help it has
been to its members. says:
Zone of the best features of this Grange
is the large proportion of young people
among its members. have been a
teacher all OF my active life, and on you,
young ladies and gentlemen, wish es-
pecally at this time to impress this idea.
Do you aspire to political distinction. to
occupy positions of honor and trust ?
Look at the success of some Of
those among you tonight, and
believe me when | say there Is no
better place in which to prepare to win
success than by first getting good edu-
cation and then doing hard work in good
Subordinate Grange? Do you wish to be
able to WELD wholesome influence in
society in the way of temperance, charity,
good morals, good education? This is
just the place to prepare tor such work. :"

Management of Bees for Honey

June is the month when we ALWAYS ex-
pect to secure our largest crop of honey,
as in it open the white clover and bass
wood bloom, our main source. If our
bees are strong in numbers at the opening
of clover we may expect to reap good
crop; but ii they are weak it will take
them about through the honey flow to
build up strong enough to store surplus
honey. at the end of which time we can
report failure for the season. 1t is sur
prising to see what surplus honey a strong
colony of bees can store. even if the
honey flow is as short as two or three
weeks. II our bees are in right cond-
ton at the beginning. we need not report
a failure in so short time even as this.
II our bees are thus in good shape (and
it is altogether our own fault if they are
noO the next thing necessary is to give
them abundance of room 'or storing sur
plus honey in the right manner. The up
per story or surplus department should be
of the same size as the brood chamber,
and if it is the object to raise comb honey,
racks should be arranged in the upper
stories for holding section boxes. The
one and two pound boxes are mostly used.
and the one pound are preferable. Foun-
dation or piece ofclean white honey comb
should be placed in each section for
guides and starters. We prefer to fill the
section with foundation. Some beekeep-
ers uses tin separators between the Sec
tions in order to secure straight combs.
But these separators can be got along
without, and many have discarded them,
especially when using full sections of
| foundation.
If we expect to run our bees for extract
ed honey we will use an upper story with
Der, and extract from the surplus combs
above. Some beekeepers make special

ARTIFICIAL RUBlES.
A French Scientist Experimenting or
These Spurious Stones

n
These Spurious Stones
Nj. Frenzy has returned to his old ex-
periments on the manufacture of ru-
bies. 1t will be remembered that .
few years ago he succeeded in forming
small ruby crystals by a chemical or
physical process in his laboratory.
Those crystals were too tiny to seri-
ously compete with the natural stone.
He now claims, however. to produce
ruby crystals of excellent quality and
larger size than the natural stones in
use. This result has been obtained by
a new process. The older processes of
1877. employed by NJ. Frenzy and III.
Fell, consisted in heating to white
heat i'm an earthen crucible mixture
of aluminium and minimum. The red
coloeation was produced by bichromate
of potash. The operation was often
made with twenty TO thirty ki!o-
grammes of mixture and gave several
kilOgrammes of rubieS.
Another method was To heat to n
high temperature mixture in equal
parts of aluminium and tluOrlde OF
barium with traces of bichrOmate OF
potash. Tie crystals thus obtained
were remarkable for their neat form.
but they were apt to be lamellar. In
his recent experiments NJ. Frenzy had
the assistance of talented young
chemist. NJ. Verneuil. attached to his
laboratory at the museum. Their first
work was to find whether the earthen-
ware crucible of the early experiments
influenced the reactions. and they found
it did not Next they found that al
most all the fluorides when mixed with
alumina produced corundum by cal
cination at white heat FluOride Of
barium, fluoride of calcium and
cryolite were used by them. Crucibles
of platinum were also employed. lin
the course of the experiments they
found that flusride. such rs fluoride
of calcium, exercises on alumina an
enormous power of naturalization.
Thus they could crystalize all the
alumina contained in a mixture of ole
part of fiuoride of calcium and twelve
parts of alumina. In order TO investi-
gate this fact further they placed at the
bottom of the platinum crucible some
natural fiuoride of calcium, white and
transparent and of great purity. 1t
was covered carefully by a plate of
platinum perforated with very fine
holes. On the plate was put layer of
alumina obtained by the calcination of
pure ammoniacal alum. Thus charged.
the crucible was heated for several
hours at red heat in an earthenware
crucible, and it was found that the
fuoride of calcium had almost COM
pletely transformed the alumins into
crystals of ruby, remarkable for their
neat form and their rose color. Thus
alumina, without being in contact with
fluoride of calcium and simply affected
by the carnations of the fuoride. cal
cined i'm the air. is mineralized, losing
its anonymous state and changing into
. crystalline mass. This discovery is
important in the science of mineralogy.
1t shows how such bodies as the
iuorides, heated in contact with moist
air, produce emanations which can
crystalize anonymous bodies such a:
aluminium. Hydrohuoric acid, acting
at very high temperature, may play
q considerable role in the reaction
